80Unabashedly tasteless, wholly trashy and, also, hugely entertaining.
-
75There's a case to be made for The Real Cancun as a document of the mating dance as well as an unintentionally poignant film about the brevity of youth.
-
The result is surprisingly genial, even innocent -- a movie without a screenplay that echoes countless coming-of-age-at-the-beach movies, except maybe "Weekend at Bernie's."
-
67It's just a camcorder soap opera of packaged hormonal fervor -- ''The Real World'' with extra tequila body shots.
-
63It's not much, but it isn't awful, either, provided you're interested in this sort of thing to begin with.
-
63An uncensored, often hilarious vision of spring break madness that is so perfectly positioned on the big screen, the only question you can ask its creators is, "What took you so long?"
-
63It actually works as a sometimes funny, occasionally scandalous, but mostly involving narrative.
-
63Not so much a documentary as it is a bald-faced party movie.
-
60There are worse crimes being perpetrated in Hollywood than The Real Cancún--an exploitation fantasy no more booby-besotted than a "Porky's" or "American Pie" installment, and certainly no more unreal.
-
The film is an accelerated version of MTV's perennial reality series, "The Real World," only with more drinking and more sex. The results, however, are the same.
-
50Undeniably entertaining.
-
50If, having seen "Jackass" half a dozen times, you now yearn to watch a pair of identical twins from Texas Tech cavort in the wet T-shirt contest or hear mobs of drunken undergraduates screaming for more margaritas, here's your flick.
-
38Those who sit through this mindlessness get the booby prize.
-
38A colossal disappointment. Not because it's superficial and shallow –- those characteristics pretty much go with the territory –- but because it's boring.
-
38The only question is how many levels of meaning can be plumbed from the phrase "Let's party!"
-
30No matter how “real” things appear, scenarios and story arcs are relentlessly imposed upon the partay-cipants so as to finesse a narrative as crudely overdetermined and howlingly predictable as any studio-manufactured fiction.
-
A 90-minute confessathon minus the bleeped-out cuss words and pixelated breasts.
-
20All its 89 minutes of fast cuts, swooping overhead shots, sun, surf, song, sunburn and sex cannot obscure the extent of its shallowness.
-
12The Real Cancun is no crime; at worst, it's a kind of staged tribute to "Porky's" done by amateur actors.
-
10It is films like this that make me think that if Mexico suddenly went to war with a superpower, and the Cancun area was nuked into oblivion during a spring break weekend, that the world might actually be a better place.
-
Two of MTV's stupidest programs, "The Real World" and "Spring Break," have been rolled into one staggeringly dumb feature film.
-
0This movie thrusts you so close to these intoxicated idiots that you practically have to wipe off secondhand tequila, sweat and spit stains afterward.
-
0Shoddy craftsmanship and uninteresting subjects (it's amazing how tedious some conversations can be when there's no one to put words in the subjects' mouths) sink this spring-break movie faster than an outbreak of Leginnaires’ disease on a vacation cruise liner.
-
0Save for the diminished allure of drunk, naked hotties, there's nothing of worth in The Real Cancun.
